What is Sclerotherapy?
Sclerotherapy is the most common vein treatment used to treat spider veins and smaller “pre” varicose veins.
Treatment Procedure
At Guelph Medical Laser, a Sclerotherapy treatment takes about 30 minutes. The treatment involves an injection of a solution (generally sodium chloride) directly into the vein through a micro-needle.
This solution irritates the lining of the vessel, causing it to swell, stick together and the blood to clot. Over time, the vessel turns to scar tissue and fades from view.
Depending on the severity of the veins, it can take a number of appointments to achieve optimal results. That said, results are instant!
